Question

In the story 'A Shady Plot', why did Helen appear in bits and pieces?

Comments

But in the book there is no specific answer to this. So it may also be her style to appear in bit and pieces.

Answer 1

Helen was a ghost. Whenever she appeared, it was in bits and pieces. The reason was that she had been kept busy at the Ouija Board Party by the woman of the Book Club. She was too tired to appear as a whole.
